FBBTracker

The FBBTracker uses UDP packets to transmit its location every 5 minutes. Since the airtime usage is so low, the fixed reporting rate of 5 minutes consumes less than 1MB of traffic per month if the PDP context is left open. There is a minimum billing increment per open PDP context so leaving the connection open is greatly preferred.

Each position report consumes 2 packets, one from the vessel to the ground, and a return acknowledgment.
